PACE RESOLUTION ON NAGORNO KARABAKH POSITIVE FOR ARMENIA, TIGRAN TOROSIAN CONSIDERS

“We have got a good resolution”, head of the Armenian delegation to PACE, Vice Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Tigran Torosian stated in his interview with the Armenian Public Television. In his words, PACE views Nagorno Karabakh as a negotiating party and the proposal of the Armenian delegation to consider Karabakh the party to conflict was fixed in the resolution. Another proposal on replacing the word “separatists” by “the forces struggling for independence” was also approved by the Political Committee but was not included in the document only due to a trick of Turkey’s representative, who misled the PACE deputies, while a second voting is banned by the regulations. The proposals submitted by the Azeri party were turned down during the preliminary reading in the Political Committee. Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE also noted that the necessity of the creation of atmosphere of trust and the inadmissibility of solving the problems by force were discussed at the session.
